1. Drive consistently
– Constant changes of speed and erratic driving use more gas. Try and
look ahead for traffic signals and other hold ups and adjust your speed
gradually so that you don’t have to come to a stop and then start up
building your speed again.
2. Check your tyre pressures
– Under inflated tyres cause extra friction between your vehicle and
the road and will quite drastically increase your fuel consumption,
especially on longer trips. When was the last time your tyre pressures
were checked?
3. Remove Roof Racks – And ‘Ski
bars’, roof mounted luggage boxes etc. if you are not actually using
them. They cause extra drag in the wind and increase your gas
consumption. Look around and you see people with ski bars still fitted
in the summer! – They are costing money!
4. Switch off the Air Con!
(Whenever possible !) – Running an air conditioning unit in your
vehicle eats up about 15% of your gas consumption! Do you really need
it on? A lot of people just leave it on all of the time
5. Slow Down!
– Your vehicle is most fuel efficient at it’s optimum cruising speed.
When you go above this you start eating more gas at an exponential rate!

6. Don’t Use the car!
– Do you really need to drive to wherever you are going. Can you use
public transport.(Especially in Urban areas where there are buses/metro
etc. Or even walk! – you will save money and get fitter at the same
time! Consider setting up a car sharing pool with work colleagues for
commuting or other mothers for the school run.
7. Change your car
– If your car is a gas guzzler, consider changing it for a smaller
engined model that uses much less fuel, when you are next due to renew
it. The maximum normal engine size in Europe is about 2 litres – the
reason for that is gas is expensive!
8. Close the windows - especially
when travelling at speed. All that wind blowing through causes drag and
uses extra fuel.
9. Have your car regularly serviced.
An engine that is not running efficiently due to old plugs etc will use
much more fuel.
10. Remove excess weight! Clear
all that junk that you are carrying around in the trunk! It all uses
more gas to haul it around with you!
